Volume Goes Up And Down! What Fun!

Humor me for a second here, but I swear to you, the concept of the Vol Portable Speakers is too similar to the Diwali Lanterns available here in India! Have a look at this or this! However I don’t mean to take away the novelty in design of what Carson Leong has done here. In fact, I think it’s a great approach of using the natural up-down sliding motion to increase and decrease the volume of the speaker. So much better than just hitting some buttons or turning a dial! Designer: Carson Leong

This project was about creating a more tactile and visual experience for the user (make the invisible (change in volume) visible).

The design is very similar to a lantern, because it is inspired by the opening and closing element of the shape. I was more intrigued with the material itself and how it acts as a control for power (as Martin understood-how it 'cut sound'). The skin of the speaker not only functions as the volume control but also acts as protection against shock and scratches.

Therefore, I do not think its fair to say this project has any link with a lighting or packaging project. The idea and story behind it are completely different. But I do appreciate all the comments.

For more information about the design, feel free to check out my website. Thanks!
